I'm giving my Nexus S to teh wife, and I'm wondering which ROM I should put on it? I'm using Kalimchoaz CM9 Kang, but I wonder if it's too complex for her. Don't really want her mucking around in low level settings.
Looking for a a stable, low maintenance ROM, with excellent battery life and no crashes. She mostly uses for text, phone, contacts and facebook. Very little browsing. Facebook contact sync is a plus.
I tried Brainmaster's stock ICS but it was slower than the AOSP kangs.
Any suggestions?

This. Peter Alfonso makes the most stable roms I've ever ran on my phone.

Peter Alfonso; close to stock with a snappy feel and very stable.
CM9 v1.1: more advanced but very stable for daily use.

Am I missing something? No facebook contact sync from what I see. I tried 22/1/2012 version.
I run Apex on my Glaxy Nexus and it supports the feature.

I ran Nexus-Beam for a while, it worked well and was mostly stock. No real issues to speak of, only changed because I was looking for more customization.
I'm getting tired from going one to the other just so I can have let's say one has blue tooth and the other has a working camera. In your opinions what's the best one you guys have used.

In my opinion the best rom I have used and still use is Aeon v1.4L or whatevver the newest one. Its still gingerbread but stable and gives me fast service speeds.
On gingerbread: miuiscotland_I997-2.4.17
On ICS: RemICS-UX
On JB: RemICS-JB or CM10
In my opinion:
For GB: ZEUS 6.0 or Aeon 1.4SL
For ICS: Uni-yuma-Porn B.40
And for JB: ParanoidAndroid
Hope this helps

GB. Stock rooted. Sorry to admit it but I had battery or lag issues with most of the others I tried.
ICS. Cm9- although its the only one I stuck with for more than a few days.
Job. Tried cm10 and paranoid android. I liked cm10 better. All the extras inPA weren't much use to me. GPS doesn't work well in any jb Roms though so I'm back on cm.
catyrom works pretty good. its GB with an ICS look.
paranoid android was good for me in both ICS and JB, however i have been running the Cypher ROM for the last 4-5 weeks and that is the longest i have been on one ROM in quite a while.
Zues has always been strong for GB too.
CM10 rocks
I have never tried any other than stock ROM until I saw JB released. I realized that I should have this on my Infuse.
I tried cypherROM, CM10 and ParanoidAndroid. To me I felt that PA and CM10 are almost same, but felt CM10 is faster(though they use same source).
cypherROM is different UI feel and I personally like it better than CM10 in terms of it's UI colors.
I've found that I simply hate ICS and JB. As far as I'm concerned, the "best" ROMs are either a rooted and slightly customized stock UCLB3, or CM7.2.

Scott's CM10. Use FasterGPS, and change your GPS settings according to instructions in the thread. The initial lock will take a while, but after you get the first lock, it's within a matter of seconds that I can lock onto 7 satellites within SECONDS inside work, (which is an all metal building that is an auto dealer). I don't know about Bluetooth, since I don't use that function, but I have no issues with the camera at all, or internet speeds. I am extremely happy with CM10, and the ability to overclock easily.
I really hate how I flash a new from every day. I though jb was good at first but not like everyone else I have my doubts. A little to "heavy" doesn't feel right on my phone. I really appreciate ics and it feels alright on my phone, but I really miss gingebreads reliability and speed, just curious, does anyone else feel the same? Should I just switch to gingerbread again? Is other a way to keep some features of ics on gingerbread?

I used to run CM7 and CM9 on my i9023 nexus s.. and I found CM7 to be really unstable. I switched to a CM9 nightly and it was a godsend.. smoother, more attractive and 10x more stable! but I found it sort of "slowed down" after about 3 months.. just a circumstantial observation though, didn't do any tests.
I'm hooking up my friends with a couple of Nexus S's shortly because they need phones. I'm thinking of giving them CM9, rather than 10, for better battery life. But I'm guessing CM9 is susceptible to the SMS remote wipe hack? haven't tested it.
Personally I never liked cyanogenmod up until 9.0 , I'm on cm9 right now but it random reboot & hangs :/ cm10 seems pointless to me.

I have stuck with stock one on both my droids. I find these roms useless because I have always found an app that can do what these roms can do
i try most roms out thier , the best are slim cm9, remics 1.1 both ics
Whatif the phone's rom memory gets a few bad blocks due to repetitive flashing?
Remics is probably one of the best roms I've seen put out for nexus s, so nice , but I just feel the need to switch sometimes. And I had no idea that that would effect my phone

true dat. I remember when AOKP came out with their first JB rom, it was so unstable; rebooted my phone every 10 mins and I flashed cm10 and was happy for a while but it then started to do the same thing. Then i went to paranoid and it was even worse; so i went back to cm10. and then AOKP JB build came out and i was skeptical about getting it because of my first experience with them but I gave it a try and I have been flashing AOKP all the way up to build 4 and let me tell you; BEST ****ING ROM ON JB right now. My phone never crashes; never lags, and is super crazy smooth/fast!

Thing is, every rom is fast and smooth right after you flash it. In order to talk so good about one, I'd say you need to keep it for, at least, 3 months. If it's still stable and fast, with no wipes needed, no daily reboots, I'd believe you.

AOKP JB is very stable now. I haven't wiped since the nightlies, up to build 4 currently. I flash new build/nightly as soon as it's available. 3 months? Don't think I can hold for even a few days after new build is released.

Ive been rocking CM for sometime now with this phone and all previous ones, and I do like it its been my dd, but im looking for something different. Now I know this is/can be opinionated and subjective to users, but I would like to get into a good discussion about my next ROM for my S3.
So lets see what you bring to the table.
JellyBeans, CleanROM and HELLSROM are great, stable and fully supported. Check them out. I go between them and am currently on 4.2.1 HELLSROM
Depends on if you want a TouchWiz ROM or an AOSP ROM
Well I'd like to stick with AOSP or AOKP

If you want to try something completely different and stay with AOSP, i suggest trying MIUI.

yeah i know what you mean, i used to use MIUI but not anymore, now i use Jelly Beans rom by beanstown106... which for me i like it because of the AOSP theme and feel, but with touchwiz features and stability. mainly the touchwiz camera.

I've been running CleanROM 5.6 with LeanKernel 1.6 for a couple of days now. I've never used a version of CleanROM that wasn't stable.
If you want a stable AOSP ROM that doesn't have much bugs you would have to go to late versions such as Milestone 1 release of AOKP, but if you want a TouchWiz ROM with a 4.2 AOSP feel HellsROM (recent development so will have a few bugs) would be perfect.

I have thought about using AOKP, and from what I can tell they are getting ready to release a new version over at rootzwiki ( I could be wrong ) or I was thinking about Parnoid..

Ya, I tried touchwiz for a while for some reason battery life isn't as balanced as in AOSP ROM's atleast for me anyway, but performance wise they are pretty smooth.
I guess the problem is there are so many spread out across so many forums it's very difficult to get them in one spot.
I've been looking at what's been mentioned but still nothing has jumped out at me. I guess I need to choose one and go with it, unless I should wait for something to come out

The newest version of cleanrom is my personal favorite. Its very fast, clean, lite, and super stable. I don't have a single issue with anything on this rom. Its updated every now and then but not to fix issues because there are none, but to make it even better by removing more crap from the system to make battery life even better. I've tried a bunch of roms and I get better battery life, faster and smoother performance, perfect stability, and overall happiness with this rom than anything else that I've tried. Along with the k3 modem and rpm its perfect. I got 1 day and 4.5 hours off a single charge before I got to 10% battery with medium use (using my phone as I normally would, without purposefully letting it standby to save battery). If I had to pay $50 to have this rom, I'd do it. Flash it and give it a couple days and you'll see why.

First off, this is not "which is the best", this is "which is your favorite". People have their allegiances, I get it, but for those who are new or who want to try a different ROM, a thread here in the Blaze forums would be useful! I also understand there are other threads like this elsewhere in xda, but I want this to be Blaze exclusive!
Ok, so which ROM is your favorite and why? Be descriptive, let our community know!
And most important, this is not a knock on any dev. All you guys do amazing work and without you, we're not here!

My favorite ROM is Thomas.raines ParanoidAndroid! Second ROM I've ever flashed on this Blaze. I love all the features it has from looking like a Phablet to having a tablet UI! One day, I hope it would have the Halo notifications! But of course. We will have to wait for that CM10.1 everyone is waiting for!
Paranoid Android by TR is definitely a favourite. Ran it for a while, but needed stability for work so I went back to CM10 + BlueLightning kernel.
ParanoidAndroid was my second ROM as well and love it. Still love it. If only it had all the sound mods that LiquidSmooth has! The ability to change UI is awesome, the split screen settings menu, and the LZ kernel baked right in are major highlights! Recommend PA to anyone on this forum!
Sent from a LiquidSmooth Blaze
Started on Beastmode's slim bean, have currently been running all the latest Cm10 nightlies. With BlueLightning X2 kernel. Still switch back to slim for a change. Super stable and great battery life on both, can't go wrong.
Props to Racing for AOKP too, along with BlueLightning.
Bugless Beast back in the day on Droid 1! I guess because that was my first Android phone I rooted and the best ROM of the tons I tried!
Not the first time I 'rooted' 'jailbroke' or otherwise gained #su but I LOVED installing new homebrew applications on my PSP handheld gaming system too!
My next favorite ROM? The one developed by someone not trying to sell it to the attention if a kid. Seriously I can't talk professionally about this kind of stuff if I tell my co-worker I'm rooted running CandyCane Super Sweet K.K. for KUSTOM KERNEL on a modified JellyBean android custom ROM called Orange Sherbert Swirl and the amazing Technicolor Steamboat.
Yeah I made all that up just to get my point across! I felt it was necessary lol.

Racing's AOKP. Smooth & stable, no crazy bells & whistles. I like the ROM Control settings. Not interested in split screen phablet stuff, the screen's not big enough for that. Only issus is CPU clock & governor settings not sticking after reboot, but I don't need to reboot that often.

Racings AOKP-NOS injector-Racings Blue lightning X2 Kernel-AC!D Engine V5. I run underclocked at 1.296 most of the time unless i need the extra power. The combo is extremely smooth and stable. Never had a reboot, absolutely no lag, great gaming performance(oc'd GPU included with X2 helps), my average daily battery life is 12-13 hours with 4-4.5 hours screen on time, and almost all settings work as they should besides the built in cpu clock changer which works but doesn't stick after reboot. What more can you ask for?
Edit
Use kernel tuner for changing CPU clocks and governer as well as other great settings.
Edit again...
Forgot to mention I force 2G and disable data 75% of the time because most places I go have WiFi and the area I live in has "light green" coverage meaning there's ****ty 4G signal...Weak Signal=Bad Battery Life. Forcing 2G and disabling data improves battery life noticeably.

Yes, I use a toggle to enable/disable whenever, instead of going through settings. AOKP has a bunch of customizable toggles within the ROM. Good stuff.
The only reason I have been on stock ICS is because instagram was having issues with jb. Or else I would be on a cm variant

My issue was the app crashing when refreshing news feed. You can solve that problem by disabling something under developers settings.
